Queen of the Most Holy
Rosary, in these times of such
brazen
impiety,
show thy power with the signs of thy former victories, and from thy
throne,
from which thou bestowest pardon and graces, mercifully look upon the
Church
of thy Son, His Vicar on earth, and every order of clergy and laity,
who
are sorely oppressed in this mighty conflict.

Powerful Vanquisher of all
heresies, hasten the hour of
mercy,
even
though the hour of God's justice is every day provoked by the countless
sins of men.

For me who am the least of
men, kneeling before thee in
prayer, obtain
the grace I need to live a holy life upon earth and to reign among the
just in Heaven. Meanwhile, together with all faithful Christians
throughout
the world, I greet thee and acclaim thee as Queen of the Most Holy
Rosary.

Queen of the Most Holy
Rosary, pray for us.

Virgin Most Powerful

Virgin most powerful, loving
helper of the Christian
people,
how great
is the thanks we owe thee for the assistance thou hast given our
fathers
who invoked thy maternal help by the devout recitation of thy Rosary
when
they were threatened by the Turkish infidels? From Heaven thou didst
see
their deadly peril. Thou heard their voices imploring thy compassion.
Their
humble prayers, enjoined by the great Pope, Saint Pius V, were
acceptable
to thee, and thou didst come quickly to deliver them.

Grant, Dear Mother, that in
like manner the prolonged
sighs of
the Holy
Bride of Christ in these our days may reach thy throne and win thy
pity.
Be moved to compassion and rise once again to deliver Her from the many
foes who surround Her on every side.

Even now from the four
quarters of the earth there
arises to
thy throne
the prayer of the Rosary, to beg thy Mercy in these troubled times.
Unfortunately
our sins hinder, or at least retard their effect. Wherefore, Dear
Mother,
obtain for us true sorrow for our sins and a firm resolution to face
death
itself rather than return to our former sins. It grieves us that
through
our own fault, thy help which we need so desperately, should be denied
or come too late.

Turn to us, O Mary, and
graciously listen to the prayers
of
the whole
Catholic World: conquer the pride of those wicked men, who in their
insolence
blaspheme Almighty God and would destroy His Church, against which,
according
to the infallible words of Christ, the gates of Hell shall never
prevail.
Let it be seen once more that when thou doth arise to protect the
Church,
Her victory is sure. Amen.
